Tarot Day 18 and 19
Aug. 13th, 2014 01:26 pmDay 18 there is no picture and I could not put a post up because Technological Difficulties. Boo, technology getting in the way of my old-timey occulty shit!
Yesterday's card was The Moon, which means "Deep instinctual forces. Self-deception." This card has both positive and negative interpretations, and I have no idea which ones are relevant here. Positive key words include "Intuition. Strong emotions. Secret truths" and "The creative potential of the unconscious mind." Negative key words include "Escapism. Confusion. Deception." It suggests that I am "entering a period of fluctuating moods and uncertainty during which you must confront unconscious forces in order to succeed." Well, I'm probably in a period of fluctuating moods and uncertainty, at any rate. It also says that "You can make good use of your creative talents" so I should probably get on that. It also points out that "You notice how ingrained patterns from the past are affecting your current behavior" which is sadly true. It advises me to "attend to your dreams, feelings, hunches, and intuitions now."
Today's spread is two cards:
Today's card is The Star, representing "Hope." This is actually fairly good for today--I've talked to a bunch of helpful people lately and gotten some good leads, my Team Me is being very much on Team Me, I get to go home tomorrow, I've done a bunch of helpful research and some soul-searching about what sorts of jobs I might actually like. Anyway, The Star's key words include "Luck. Tranquility. Optimism" and the little book says that it is "A very positive card." Much like the Moon, I am urged to "rely on your intuition, inner wisdom, and guidance." It also says that "A desire response or result is on the way" and that "This is a good time to exert yourself because you can achieve your ideals."
I picked a clarification card, which turned out to be another Major Arcana--VI, The Lovers. This card symbolizes "Choice." While it can indicate "A romanting meeting. Sexuality. Attraction," other keywords include "A major choice. A decision. . . Being put to the test." As a situation card, it apparently "often appears when you are faced with a crucial life decision and much choose which path to follow." I feel like I'm already overthinking which jobs to apply to each day, and I don't know what other sort of choices I'm going to get to make today. Ah well, I suppose we'll have to wait and see.
